# reddit
Greetings!
This is the primary codebase that powers [reddit.com](http://www.reddit.com).
For notices about major changes and general discussion of reddit development, subscribe to the [/r/redditdev](http://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev) and [/r/changelog](http://www.reddit.com/r/changelog) subreddits.
You can also chat with us via IRC in [#reddit-dev on freenode](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=reddit-dev).

### Quickstart
To set up your own instance of reddit to develop with, we have a handy [install script for Ubuntu](https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/reddit-install-script-for-Ubuntu) that will automatically install and configure most of the stack.
Alternatively, refer to our [Install Guide](https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/Install-guide) for instructions on setting up reddit from scratch. Many frequently asked questions regarding local reddit installs are covered in our [FAQ](https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/FAQ).
### APIs
To learn more about reddit's API, check out our [automated API documentation](http://www.reddit.com/dev/api) and the [API wiki page](https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/API). Please use a unique User-Agent string and take care to abide by our [API rules](https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/API#wiki-rules).
Happy hacking!
